Background on The Red Pump Project:

National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day is March 10th every year. It's a nationwide initiative to raise awareness of the increasing impact of HIV/AIDS on women & girls and encourages ladies to take action. While progress has definitely been made in the areas of AIDS prevention and treatment, women still represent 27% of all new AIDS diagnoses, with African-American women accounting for 66% of that group.In observance of this day, Karyn of The Fabulous Giver and Luvvie of Awesomely Luvvie came up with the idea of The Red Pump Project. The concept was simple: Rock the Red Pump on your blog to represent the strength and courage of women fighting HIV/AIDS or affected by the disease both directly and indirectly. We ask that on that day (March 10th), you embed the Red Pump Widget within your post with a short snippet of its significance, or you can rock the widget on your sidebar for the day.

Chic Gems proudly rocked the Red Pump on our Fashion Blog-click here to read our fashion blog.

Chaise Lounge~Chicago, IL

Here's the scoop about the Event:

They came. They saw. They posed. In a stunning victory le Dress swept the first annual “Battle of the Boutiques”, taking home both the People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice awards. This means they’ll be back next year to defend their title as Chicago’s “most stylish yet affordable” boutique. Congratualtions to le Dress!In case you missed us for the show and dinner last Thursday at Chaise Lounge, we’ll fill you in. Le Dress is a haute new dress-only boutique located on Division in Wicker Park created by two sisters-in-law Eva and Robyn Anderson. Their mutual love for fashion inspired them to open a boutique… but definitely not your store next door. Le Dress is a place where the perfect dress and everything that goes with it can be found. Whether it’s for the party on Friday night, the shower at the botanical garden or the wedding at the Drake, Eva & Robyn believe that dress shopping should be exciting no matter what the occasion.Their winning fashions are shown below, but if you’re looking for more photos of the event check out the Gallery. There, you’ll find photos of all the boutiques’ looks, our guest judges, Showbiz Shelly, the PLRG team and maybe even you!
